Sales Manager Interview Questions

"As a sales manager, it's your job to guide your team to success by setting appropriate quotas and goals, building sales plans, establishing training programs, and and developing sales strategies. Employers are looking for candidates who are skilled negotiators, planners, and leaders. In an interview, come ready to discuss your management style and how you've closed sales in the past. Excelling in sales is all about delivering superb customer service, so be prepared to offer a sales pitch on the spot or answer a scenario question about handling tough customers."

Let the client talk, when there's a pause, tell them "I understand how you feel." That I would take responsibility and tell them I will do everything in my power to make this right by them and see to it that it never happens again.

Don't b.s. here.. they will call you out. After I answered the question truthfully they thanked me for not using a cliche response and stated that they call people out when they do so.

what was your story

I said I had a difficult time relying on others because of the company I was working with at the time. My coworkers werent responsible and werent held accountable either. Since then, Ive left my old company and started with a company, not Altria. Met a few people that used to work for them and didnt have nice things to say. Make sure you really want to work for them. If not, look into a more reputable, rewarding, socially accepted company like Hershey's!

What did the critical thinking test consist of and how difficult was it? because I got emailed the link to test the AVN test or critical thinking questionaire and i really do not want to fail. I thank you dearly.

I took the Watson-Glaser test, I don't know what the AVN test consists of. The Watson-Glaser was like a multiple choice-type test where 1 or more of the answers could be correct but I had to choose the best one. I found some of them to be difficult because it was hard for me to decide which to choose, but other people may find it fairly easy. I don't know what my results were, but I passed!

I explained that thus far, NO one had really given me the salary for the job....so I needed to know the salary, before I could answer his question. He did not tell me the salary and I got the impression that I was too saavy for this company!

He was actually too savvy for you... He wanted to know if you are loyal, a good candidate for long-term employment and not easily swayed away by a an extra 5k/yr.
